Un maravilloso ensayo que parte de la caza de las brujas en el Renacimiento, una guerra contra las mujeres que resuena aún hoy.

A comienzos de la Edad Moderna tuvo lugar en Europa una caza de brujas en la que se persiguió a centenares de miles de personas, la gran mayoría mujeres, y se asesinó a unas sesenta mil. ¿Qué sabemos de las condenadas? ¿Y de sus acusadores? Y, sobre todo, ¿cuál pudo ser el motivo de semejante locura?

Adela Muñoz Páez, una de las ensayistas actuales más brillantes, ofrece respuestas a estas preguntas y explora el proceso, orquestado durante siglos por la Iglesia, que convirtió a las mujeres en chivos expiatorios de una sociedad extraordinariamente misógina. Al contrario de lo que suele pensarse, las persecuciones más agresivas no se dieron en España, las penas más crueles no las impusieron los tribunales eclesiásticos, y la Inquisición no fue el brazo ejecutor de la caza, sino la principal opositora a la misma. El texto se ocupa además de herejías, bulas papales, grimorios, exorcismos y hechizos, y rememora los juicios de las brujas de Salem y Zugarramurdi, así como la historia de sus perseguidores y de sus defensores.

Aunque no hubo aquelarres ni vuelos de brujas, sí hubo dolor y muerte en las hogueras prendidas a lo largo y ancho de la Europa de la época. En nombre de las brujas cuyas voces no serán oídas jamás, hemos de ayudar a poner freno a la superstición y el odio que aún hoy siguen cobrándose decenas de miles de vidas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A wonderful essay that begins with the witch hunts in the Renaissance, a war against women that still resonates today.

At the beginning of the Modern Era there was a witch hunt in Europe, where hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, were persecuted and about sixty thousand were killed. What do we know about those convicted? About their accusers? And above all, what could motivate such madness?

Adela Muñoz Páez, one of today's most brilliant essayists, answers these questions and explores the process--orchestrated for centuries by the Catholic Church--that turned women into scapegoats for an extraordinarily misogynistic society. Contrary to what you might think, the most aggressive persecutions didn't happen in Spain, the cruelest punishments were not imposed by ecclesiastical courts, and the Inquisition was not the executive arm in the hunt, but the main objector. This text also focuses on heresy, papal bulls, grimoires, exorcisms, and spells, and remembers the witch trials at Salem and Zugarramurdi, as well as the history of their persecutors and defenders.

Even though there weren't any covens or witches flying, there was pain and death in those fires lit all across Europe at the time. On behalf of the witches whose voices will never be heard, we must help stop superstition and hatred, still claiming dozens of thousands of lives today.

Great
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
I need something that was soft for my three year old and this ball is super great, it not only is the right size but it also fits in his mouth just right. Although he is a super aggressive chewer, the ball toy hasn't been totally destroyed yet and it is easy on his gums. The ball is so durable that got two of these toys just for fun.

The best!
UPDATE: 08/05/2025 - This is still one of my dog's 2 fav training/play toys. A couple of notes: 1. This is not a chew toy. If your pup is chewing up the rope, that's on you. That being said, you can get 100' of the poly cord rope at Home Depot for like $4.98. You can make nearly 100 ropes out of 100'. How hard is it to replace the rope????? 2. My pup is a now 15 month old Malinois. His original balls, purchase in September 2024 are still in everyday, multiple times per day, play. I did get careless and leave one where he got it and chew the rope. Easily replaced. Nothing to fret over. Yes, that was on me! 3.The foam ball is virtually indestructible! Replace the rope! 4. I noticed the price for the yellow large went from $12 each to $24. THIS will cause me to go elsewhere if they doubled in price. I LOVE these balls but not that much. I noticed they have a new yellow ball that has a strap vs. a rope. I might try that if I need one, but I have 6 of these balls, 2 never used yet, 2 that are virtually new looking, and 2 that have been in play since september 2024. I don't think I'll be buying more any time soon, but if I do need more, I hope they haven't gone up to $24 each. One of my top, go-to training tools. Quality is great other than the shrink wrap around the string joint. It's junk but not essential. Great tug and fetch toy. Essential to teaching a good "out" command (2 are recommended for this).

Best dog ball
This is our go to dog toy for our German shepherd. its great for training in sports as well as outings at the beach, considering it floats! Never had him destroy one, so its extremely durable. I like that its a bright color so its easier to locate when i accidently let go of the rope too late and end up whipping it 20 ft into the woods. Easy to clean, all around just a great toy. Also love the large size as having a dog accidently lodge a ball into its throat is a real fear of mine, I do not have to worry about that with this toy. I should also mention the rope is a must, as touching a slobbery ball isn't the greatest feeling in the world and it puts your hands out of harms way. I will forever order these.

Great ball, bad rope
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1, Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
My dog and I love the starmark ball on a rope tug toys. While this is one of the best tug toys we have found, I am continually disappointed with the quality of the rope. The plastic sleeve comes off the first day, and after that the stitching begins to weaken until the rope ends come apart and the rope slides out of the ball. Is there a way to improve this design so that this toy lasts longer? My dog is not left alone with the toy, it is only used as an interactive tug toy as a training reward. I am updating my review now several months later. I reinforced the rope with a paracord braid and the toy now lasts a very long time. My dog and I play with this toy everyday on our morning hike. He is a large German Shepherd with high ball drive. He carries this ball in his mouth several miles on our morning hike. We play fetch in the fields near our home and in the lake beyond the fields with this toy every day. This toy is his reward in obedience training and we play a lot of tug with it every day. Reinforcing the handle has made a huge difference as the toy lasts and lasts now with the improved rope. Great ball, we will always have a collection of them at our house!

Great for training and play!
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
My German shepherd love this toy! Great to take on walks with you as light weight and can fit in your pocket. Stands up to the toughest of play. Great as reward toy for training in place of treats! We always have one on hand at home or out and about!
